FINALLY! The Fun Run has arrived in New York City! It's pretty straightforward - We're a group of people that like to run and have fun! Every Wednesday we meet at a different local bar throughout NYC, run, and always meet back at the bar for a guilt free beer and to hang-out. If you're in your 20-30's (or just think you can hang) with a fun and outgoing personality looking to meet new people, then come join us! Our runners are all at different paces. Everyone usually finds someone within their p …

The greatest, funnest, and best-looking group of (wannabe) runners in NYC. Well, at least 1/3 of that is true. And we can definitely guarantee fun. Come join us for a workout, a run, a bRUNch, or just come and hang out! We encourage runners of all abilities -- especially if you think you are slow -- to come join us for a fun run. We run, eat a lot of food, make friends, and never take anything too seriously. http://nyc.informalrunning.com/

Interested in starting the day with a loop around Prospect Park? There is nothing like Brooklyn's best park early in the peace and quiet of the morning and no better way to enjoy it than breezing through it on foot. Now that Spring approaches and the weather gets warmer, let's run through it and watch it bloom.

The Tribeca Running Club provides a opportunity for downtown runners to train, compete, or just go on casual group runs. Downtown Manhattan doesn't have as much of a running infrastructure as other parts of the city, so this group helps local runners stay motivated and connected, while enjoying the great paths and other running-related perks our neighborhood offers.

This is a group for anyone interested in running for a good cause: runs and walks to benefit charity organizations and programs. If you are an outdoors person and you like to run (or walk) this is your group. Every step you make will be contributing to a good cause. Let's all get together and help our city become a better place while we have a fun time! Bring your friends, family, pets or coworkers along and be part of this healthy movement.

OK what's up with all the neurotic 9 am running groups? I use Saturday mornings to sleep in after a long week of work and other crap. Let's do a nice civilized 4 pm run in Central Park (or other locations if we want). This is the first one (because I couldn't find any other small running groups at this time, I started my own).

I am creating this group for people who would like to start doing some group runs on the Coney Island Boardwalk and Shore Parkway along the Belt Parkway.

Feel free to organize events that you think might be of interest.

This is a group for anyone interested in running along the river below 14th St. I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts who want to be outdoors in the morning instead of in a gym on a treadmill. All skill levels are welcomed but you should have some running experience.
